Email spam is a huge problem. I have found for myself quite a simple solution, however it'll take some time to "migrate" completely over to it. The solution is to create a unique email address everytime I have to give an email address to someone else or to some website to sign up. If I want an account at twitter, I'd use "www.twitter.com@MYDOMAIN.COM". For webbased services, I use the full domain name incl. subdomain (www) on the left of the @ (some poorly designed websites do not recognizes the www. as valid email address, for those I just leave it away).

I used a USB stick method. In order to do this, it is first necessary to change the boot order in BIOS:
0. Plug in USB stick
1. F2 to get in BIOS
2. I left the "Booting order" settings in tact (HD first), but changed (after plugging in the
bootable USB stick) the Hard drives booting scheme so that my USB stick comes first
Now the BIOS is ready to boot the USB disk with Debian Squeeze on it.

Instead of just the ordinary netinst image, I placed the entire first squeeze CD on the usb stick using the information in: http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386/ch04s03.html.en
In short:
0. With gparted (for example) rewrote the partition table of my USB disk so that /dev/sd?1 is
about 700 MB big. [Note: ? is whichever letter your system assigns to the USB stick]

A place for tricky hardware usage in Debian.

Just basic conventions and terminolgy often used in Debian and Linux.

Just basic shh information.

Secure SHell allows a user to securely login to a remote machine from a terminal and execute commands as if sitting at the rhost's keyboard.

To login to a remote machine:
$ssh user@rhost

The connection data is encrypted so ssh can be used over an insecure network (read the internet).
